In this Tango, we'll demonstrate:
An example of prompting ChatGPT to help with a project.
An example of generating a presentation using Canva
An example of generating text-to audio using WellSaid Labs
An example of generating a presentation using Vyond
While there are several platforms that can be used to perform these tasks, this example demonstrates the use of ChatGPT, WellSaid Labs, Vyond, and Canva.

Introduction
This section demonstrates how we might prompt ChatGPT to help us generate an initial short training video on customer service basics to be used in new employee orientation. The purpose is to give the new employee some fundamental guidance for their first interactions with customers.
Use the tools below for step-by-step guidance or use the Walk Me button in Tango to have the system provide guidance while you try it out.
Be as specific and detailed as possible. The more detail you provide, the more likely the output will be closer to what you are seeking and will require less editing to be able to be used.
Don't be afraid to try different things! That is part of learning. If the prompt doesn't work for you, just refine it and try again! If you'd like to see a sample prompt, move to the next step.

Hot Tip: Keep a document of prompts that have worked well for you, usually in a spreadsheet, so you can share effective prompts with coworkers or re-use them with minor adjustments to improve your productivity.
The systems can handle a lot of detail. Consider including expert position, verb, detail on desired output, target audience, purpose, desired format for output and so on.
Here is an example prompt:
As an instructional designer, develop a script, storyboard, and example of a single page point of work reference on the topic of customer service behaviors. The audience is a new employee with no prior customer service experience. The output should include three behaviors a new employee can demonstrate on their first day at work, and include examples. Output should be formatted to paste into WellSaid Labs for text to voice generation, and include a prompt to generate a short presentation in Canva that matches the storyboard and script, and a prompt to generate a short 2 minute video in Vyond.

When reviewing the output, it is clear that the prompt did not include the type of business, so the examples are generic. Here is the prompt we used to refine the outputs to be relevant for new restaurant employees: "Modify the above outputs to be relevant to employees in a restaurant setting."

Hot tip: Platforms are getting better at internal AI processes, so developing outputs to insert into other platforms is becoming less important. For Canva and Vyond, for example, there are tools within each platform that can be used without the need for an external platform like ChatGPT!
Once the outputs are refined, go ahead and test them out!
Hot Tip: You can render the whole segment, or render by paragraph.
Render by Paragraph if you need separate audio files for different slides.
It is much easier to generate a single audio file for each segment, instead of editing a larger audio file later!
Make sure to label each download clearly, so you can identify the correct segment when adding them to videos or presentations!
